Final Farewell

So... this is the final blog. The last one to write for this class. Huh. Time really does fly as you get older. This semester has felt like only a month. Then again finals are next week, so THAT should make me feel the slowness of time for what it really is!

Anyway, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this class and all of the people in it! I made some great new friends who actually laugh at my jokes (either that or it's pity...), I learned a lot of new things about the art of filmmaking, and actually saw some non-mainstream videos that I loved! I'm not normally one to watch independent films or anything like that since I've had bad experiences in the past (The Room... ugh), but I have to say that I loved a lot of the ones that I saw in this class! My favorite one of the bunch was "Hedgehog in the Fog". The art style was simply breathtaking and I was in awe the entire time as soon as I learned that it was a stop motion! I'm getting chills about it just writing this blog!

Professor Leeper is pretty awesome, too! He's quite a funny guy who knows what he's talking about. Thank you, Professor, for being one of the most entertaining teachers I've ever met! Everyday you found a new way to make me laugh and I can't thank you enough for that!

And a huge thank you to everyone in that class! I'm sure that some of you may find me obnoxious or loud, but you've been kind enough to keep those thoughts to yourself. That's not easy and I apologize for that! You guys have made me feel like I'm a part of something special and like I actually belong somewhere. I've never felt that way before. I only hope that you continue being the kind people that you are and go on to make others like me feel the same way: wanted.

Thanks for a great semester, guys! Have a great Christmas and may God bless you all!
